Re: submit button not working

You appear to have all the essential pieces for an operational form, they are just in the wrong order.

A form starts with a

tag. The "action" attribute in the tag declares the process that is to be used on the form data. The tag should then be followed by two or three hidded tags, which identify you to the server. There should be one with the name "usernum" and the other "cpv". These are then followed by the body of your form. These are all the ,

tags that make up your form. The last two <input> tags are usually a "reset" and "submit" tag, which are then followed by the terminating </form> tag.<br />
<br />
When everything is in the right order, the "submit" button will activate the "action" attribute, declared in the <form> tag. An example, copied directly out of your form is below.<br />
<br />
<tt><form action="http://pub3.bravenet.com/emailfwd/senddata.php"<br />
 method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"><br />
<br />
<input name="<b>usernum</b>" value="218413925" type="hidden"><br />
<input name="<b>cpv</b>" value="2" type="hidden"><br />
</tt><br />
<br />
<I><b>This is where all of your <input>, <select>, and <textarea> tags go. Anything outside of this area will not be returned in the form data.</b></a><br />
<br />
<tt><input name="submit" value="Submit" type="submit"><br />
<input name="reset" value="Reset" style="margin-left: 10px;" type="reset"><br />
</form></tt><br />
<br />
You have everything you need, just put it in the right order.</p>
